Coldazu-DS Oral Suspension is composed of antipyretic, analgesic, antiallergic, expectorants, and soothing agents. Paracetamol blocks the release of certain chemicals (prostaglandins) that cause pain and fever. Chlorpheniramine maleate blocks the action of histamine, thereby relieving symptoms such as runny or blocked nose, watery eyes, sneezing, itching, and skin rashes. Phenylephrine works by narrowing the small blood vessels, providing temporary relief from inflammation (redness and swelling) and discomfort. Sodium citrate is a mucolytic medication that thins and loosens mucus in the nose, windpipe, and lungs, making it easier to cough out. Ammonium chloride works by decreasing the stickiness of phlegm and helps remove it from the airways. Menthol works by producing a mild anesthetic action, causing numbness and a cooling sensation in the area of application.

Coldazu-DS Oral Suspension helps relieve symptoms of cold and flu such as headache, sore throat, runny nose, muscular pain, and fever. It may cause dizziness and sleepiness. Don't drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how it affects you. Avoid consuming alcohol when taking this medicine as it may cause excessive drowsiness. Do not take it with any other medicine containing paracetamol (drugs for pain/fever or cough-and-cold) without asking your doctor first. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding.
